Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt very tired and weak, always lacking energy, but my daily work is quite easy. There's no physical labor involved. Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor recommended an abdominal ultrasound. The results showed that I have fatty liver, which really frustrates me.Doctor's answer:
1. Dairy products, eggs, fish, lean meat, and soy products should be alternated in daily meals to provide the liver with sufficient high-quality protein.2. Consume appropriate amounts of monosaccharides and disaccharides such as glucose, sucrose, honey, and fruit juice, which are more easily absorbed, to enhance liver glycogen reserves.
3. Honeysuckle acid found in hawthorn can reduce the deposition of animal fat on blood vessel walls, offering certain preventive or alleviating effects against atherosclerosis. Incorporating fresh or dried hawthorn into meals, brewing tea with it, or adding it to stews not only seasons the dish but also aids in absorption.
4. Goji berries nourish the liver and kidneys, promote liver health, and improve eyesight. They can be used to make tea, added to soups, or cooked into porridge.
5. Regularly consume nuts like walnuts and pistachios to regulate liver qi, relieve stress, and alleviate anxiety.
